Summary
He wants to ask, how the fuck did this happen? But he knows. The airline lost her suitcase during transit to a tournament they’d both been at in Montreal—the suitcase where she'd packed her pill case. The first several times they’d fucked Benny wore a condom, but when he ran out they both figured, what’s a few missed days of pills, right? The chances of anything happening have got to be really, really low, surely?

Summary
“Do you want to talk about it?” asks Benny carefully in the same manner one would approach a deer; as if she would run off any second.
Her averted gaze tells him what he needs to know. For a while, they sit beside each other, unmoving, listening to each other’s breath until Beth´s voice echoes through the room. “You don´t have to do this,” she says and upon seeing his eyebrows drawn together in confusion, she adds: “You don´t need to sit here.” With me.
“I think I do,” replies the older chess player softly, and with the same certainty he explains chess moves.
